"Since emerging from a three-year, $1 billion (yes, billion) makeover in late 2008, Fontainebleau remains an It spot in a town that absolutely loves to be looked at."

Be sure to stay on the ocean side of the resort, where you'll feel as if you're at sea on a yacht, thanks to sweeping Atlantic views from your curved balcony.

Luxury
"After its $1 billion facelift in 2008, the Fontainebleau's 1,504 new rooms, nine pools, phenomenal spa and gorgeous design are hard to top." Full review
DK Eyewitness

Condé Nast Traveler
"A three-year renovation has put the 1,504-room beachside behemoth back on the map, with an over-the-top atmosphere and adjacent towers housing rooms, 11 restaurants, and a $50 million spa." Full review

"If we had a choice between Eden Roc and Fontainebleau, we'd choose the Eden Roc, hands down, for the seamless service and for a more relaxed, much less Las Vegasy vibe than its neighbor." Full review

Upscale
"High-up in Miami Beach -- $20 taxi to the South Beach action -- the only real draw to the location is the pricey wining and dining at the snazzy Fontainebleau resort next door." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A throwback to the golden age of Miami Beach, the Eden Roc is a Morris Lapidus-designed landmark that blends ostentatious retro with contemporary design."
Rough Guide
"A Miami Beach landmark since the 1950s, Eden Roc was given a huge makeover in 2008 – expect infinity pools, tropical fountains, a stunning 1950s lobby and rooms equipped with iPod docks."
Star Service

Fodor's
